CHICAGO, April Elm the aldermanic

labor /. In the town of Lake the Law
and order party achieved a victory,
electing their entire ticket by an aver
age majority of about 300. Other
suburban towns went largely republi-
can. The leaders of the knights of
Labor among the united labor party
were, as rule, very much disguised at
the result, and in an interview printed
this morning one of them says: I'm
tell you, the red flag has beaten us, and
we will never have any success as a
party until we get rid of the socialists.
A committee of twenty-five will
meet on Thursday evening and we will
settle the question and then the labor
party must hereafter fight on labor
issues only. We must put our foot on
socialists and the whole crowd of red
] flag agitators. or there is no hope fOl
us. ] repeat, the red flag was the cause
of our defeat. People VIII not tolerate
anarchy, socialism, or communism, but
we will settle this question on Thurs

ST. LOuis OouaeII.

ST. Louis, April 6.-The complete
vote cast at yesterdays election as
printed this morning does not change
the result as given in the latest dis
patches from here last night. The CONF
plexion of votes of delegates, however,
is variously gwen by the morning pa
pers, the republican dividing its mem
beTs into sixteen democrats and
twelve republicans, while the Globe
Democrat classes them as fourteen
democrats. ten republicans, two indie
pendent democrats. one republican
labor and one socialist The members
of the council are well known and &C
tive business men and several of them
prominent and include L. s. Met
calf, an ex-congresEman. The
house delegates win also
contain number of well-known men,
but they are chiefly active politicians.
A notable exception, however, Is Sam
uel Hays, late postmaster Of the city.
The labor vote slightly exceeds 5000
which is only little over one-eighth
of the vote cast. Max StoeIr, elected
to the house Of delegates in the Fifth
ward, is said to be q rabid socialist and
active leader among the knights 0i
Labor. He is a new conner to St
Louis.
